Preface

In my first introductory post where I shared about who I am, I outlined a few reasons as to why I decided to start writing. In an effort to achieve these goals, I am going to challenge myself to deconstruct a technical concept into something that can be easily understood by anyone.

Since my background is predominantly in Blockchain, I felt that this would be a good topic to start with.

What is a blockchain?

In its simplest sense, a blockchain can be seen as a chain of blocks where each block contains some actions. For the technical folks, a good analogy would be a linked list where the "connection" between each node and the node itself is cryptographically secured. There you have it, Blockchain deconstructed.

I would be lying if I said that that is all you need to know about Blockchain because we barely scratched the surface! Behind the scenes, there are many cool enabling technologies that work together in synergy, supporting one another to create what we now common refer to as Blockchain.

I will be writing Deconstructed articles on these technologies as well so stay tuned for that!
